It annoys me when you close down a game, and it only has the option to send you to the title menu instead of closing out. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's kind of annoying when you need to go, and you have to "quit" the game just to wait for it to go back to the title screen and make you hit "quit" again a second time.
It's for console ports. They have a power button..so on PC you'll need to go to that button created specifically to quit to desktop
They need to be less lazy on the ports and add the option to quit to desktop on the PC version even if it doesn't exist on the console version.
Some games do, however I hate when I have to go to the menu before being able to quit to Desktop.
Clicks quit
Are you sure you want to exit?
Clicks yes
Goes to title
Clicks Quit
Are you absolutely positive you want to exit?
*Clicks yes DO YOU ACTUALLY THINK I CLICKED THREE TIMES TO GET HERE BY ACCIDENT??
Game hangs.
This is a long-shot question, feel free to disregard... but I have to ask: is that you, Joost?
Joost? Nope sorry... I assume that's a username or something?
Ah, nevermind sorry about the trouble. He's a cofounder of the company whose logo you're using as an avatar ("Ronimo", i.e.: "Robot Ninja Monkey").
Ah ok lol... I got this png off one of those free image sites because I was too lazy to make my own and been putting it off so far.
Or, they have a hypervisor, so instead of needing to quit from inside, you just hit the magic button and go back to the console UI. Game is suspended and might resume after power off or switch, or not, depending on the system and user.
You could just ctrl-alt-del or window switch or whatever to get the same experience on a computer.
I honestly will just slap cmd-q on most games. If they don't handle it properly... well, sucks for me I guess, but most do. (on a mac)
I wonder how most games treat alt-f4 on windows?
It differs, on some games it doesn't work or still takes a long time. For those programs I like to use SuperF4, which kills the process when you press ctrl+alt+f4.
FromSoft games are the worst for that. They log you off the servers and then make you login again to get to the title screen to quit
Just alt-F4 once you quit the game and hit the title screen or you’re sure the game has successfully saved.
